It’s back. The book from Timothy Remus and Wolfgang Publications that helped to kick start the build-a bike-at-home phenomena, is in publication once again. Though the aftermarket offers new engines and frames not available when this book was written, the basics of building a bike remain the same. A quality frame remains a quality product. Safe rake and trail dimensions have not changed, and neither has the need for safe brakes that will stop you when that car runs a stop light or stops unexpectedly in the middle of the block. So for anyone who yearns to build a V-Twin at home, How to Build The Ultimate V-Twin Motorcycle remains an essential tool. Build Your Own with this timeless how-to book from Wolfgang Publications.
